Bernard Tomic has salvaged enough from a mixed Wimbledon preparation to feel like he can be a threat again at the All England Club next week.

The tournament has yielded the best Grand Slam showings of Tomic’s career, including reaching the last 16 a year ago and the quarter-finals in 2011.

A similar run this year was looking highly unlikely as Tomic struggled to regain his form following hip surgery in February, but the 21-year-old’s performances in recent weeks suggest he’s heading back in the right direction.
